Are you interested in beekeeping but don't know where to start? Consider using Layens beehives. Our Layens 7-frame starter hives are built by hand by Amish craftsmen in rural Kansas. Layens beehives are a classic horizontal hive design that provides ample space for your bees to thrive, making them ideal for colder climates and natural beekeeping practices. Their unique design allows for easy inspection and honey harvesting, ensuring a rewarding beekeeping experience. Because Layens beehives expand horizontally, they do not require a super to be stacked on top. This saves you lifting heavy boxes full of honey during the honey harvest.
